Seat ColorThe seat of the Mirra 2 Chair is made of breathable AirWeave™ fabric that allows air to flow through the Mirra chair, keeping your keister cool. The suspended fabric is giving yet has a springy feel to it.

ArmsMirra 2 is available with no arms, fixed arms, or fully adjustable arms. Fully adjustable arms adjust 5" vertically, 1 1/8" horizontally, 2" front to back and pivot 20° outward and 20° degrees inward. Should you opt for no arms they can be added later.

Lumbar SupportMirra 2 is available with no additional lumbar support or an adjustable lumbar support. The adjustable support moves 4.5" in height and 1" in depth. Mirra 2's lumbar support allows you to support both your lumbar and sacral region effectively. Supporting your lumbar region is done by raising the support to cradle the small of your back when you recline. Lowering the support to below your beltline allows for passive PostureFit to align the spine by tilting the pelvis back to upright for those who primarily task in an upright-sitting position.

Tilt AdjustmentMirra 2's Tilt options include a Standard Tilt, Tilt Limiter, and Tilt Limiter with Seat Angle control. All 3 have a tilt tension adjustment so the chair leans back based on your weight.

Standard Tilt:Provides only tilt tension adjustment

Tilt Limiter:Allows the user to set the tilt range to lock or limit the amount of recline

Tilt Limiter with Seat Angle:Allows the user to select the tilt range PLUS either a horizontal or 4-degree forward seat angle

Carpet Casters:Pretty self-explanatory. Hard plastic that work pretty well on carpet.

Carpet or Hard Floor Casters:Softer (they have a polyurethane tread), so they get better traction on hard surfaces, and don't make loud noises when rolling around like the harder ones would.

Braking Casters:A spring in the caster compresses when the user is in the chair. This disengages the braking mechanism, allowing the chair to roll. When the user leaves the chair, the spring expands and engages the brake so the chair won't roll easily.

Carpet or Hard Floor Casters with Quiet Roll Technology:Also softer to get better traction on hard surfaces, and don't make loud noises when rolling around like the harder ones would these special casters have an extra retainer on the stem of the caster that helps stabilize it when inserted in the base. Less rattling and therefore stealth!

Mirra 2 chairs have a new composite base made of glass-filled nylon. The new base meets all current BIFMA standards and maintains all environmental certification levels, and offers improved scratch/scuff resistance in response to customer requests. Visually, the new base is ultra-similar to the old base unless viewed from less that two feet away. With the material change from aluminum, the recycled content of the Mirra chair has changed from 42 percent to 33 percent.

The Standard Height Range is the default selection when you customize your Mirra 2 Chair with Smart Furniture. For low or extended height options, please call a Smart Furniture salesperson at 888-467-6278 for assistance.

At A Glance:The Mirra 2 Chair represents a rethinking of one of Herman Miller's most successful office chairs. Acclaimed by Wired.com as the best of 6 task chairs in a recent test, Mirra 2 features a redesigned back and a tilt mechanism that allows you to smoothly move from one posture to another. This beautifully engineered office chair ably responds to the needs of a workplace in motion, moving smoothly from collaborative to tasking positions as you move.

What's To Like:

Better Butterfly BackWhere the original Mirra Chair had a fabric layer over a base plastic back, Mirra 2 has a thinner polymer layer that has been merged to the Latitude fabric. Check out the video below to see it in motion - it's supportive and strong, and creates an incredibly comfortable sitting pocket.

Redesigned SeatMore airflow means better temperature control. Better temperature control means that you'll be more comfortable for a longer period of time. This is no small improvement, folks.

Smoother Tilt MechanismFor those about to rock, we salute you. Mirra 2 has an improved harmonic tilt mechanism that makes your transition from an upright seated position to a laid-back recline effortless and smoother than smooth. Many of us need to move between those positions frequently, and Mirra 2 makes it easy.

Eco-conscious DesignMirra 2 is 22% lighter than the original Mirra, giving it a 25% smaller carbon footprint. That's a significant reduction, and a demonstration that this chair is a responsible choice when it comes to the environment.

What's Not to Like:If we're nitpicking, the seat depth and arm height adjustments could be better. The seat depth is changed by simply bending down the front of the seat to make it smaller, so doesn't prove to be a true depth adjustment. If the arm height adjustment weren't a bit awkward we wouldn't have even brought it up, as the arms are stellar in every other aspect.

Bottom Line:Mirra 2 is an office chair that will outshine even the most expensive task chairs. At top-tier price, that's what you'd expect. But you get even more than you pay for with the Mirra 2 Chair. It really is more comfortable than most high quality chairs. That's what we call a chair that gives you more bang for the buck - and more comfort during your daily work.

The Herman Miller Mirra 2 Chair is also known by the following manufacturer item numbers: MRF, MRF1, MRF2, MRF11AWAFAJ, MRF21AWAFAJ.

When considering what to look for in an office chair, a lot of things come to mind. For many customers, comfort is the number one priority. For others, good ergonomic back support is the most important thing. And, for still others, the price tag is the preeminent measure of which chair to buy. One aspect of office chair buying that is sometimes overlooked, however, is who actually makes the product. While the Mirra Chair was commissioned, produced and marketed by Herman Miller, it is Studio 7.5 who actually designed and built the chair for commercial sale and reproduction. And there are few furniture makers on earth more worthy of your trust and admiration than Studio 7.5. Ten years down the road, Studio 7.5 has reimagined the Mirra chair and come up with the Mirra 2 Chair.

Studio 7.5 is a German company dedicated to freedom of movement and design. They made the Mirra 2 Chair in that same spirit; as a product marked by many fingerprints, suited for many purposes, many offices, and many rooms. Adaptability and well-tuned adjustment capability are the main qualities the finished Mirra 2 Chair possesses, aside from exquisite comfort and unflinching support. Studio 7.5 isn't like most firms, and the chair they produced isn't like most chairs. The process that led to the creation of the Herman Miller Mirra 2 Chair was intensive and profoundly interesting. At Studio 7.5, things are run very differently from a typical American business. They were committed not only to the idea of the chair - of the product - but also to the idea of their unique company. So committed, in fact, that they have no bosses, no owners, no employees. They're a collective of innovative designers whose original business plan was to buy a 7.5 ton truck and move their studio from place to place: thus the name.

Of course, the truck thing never really came to pass; they were too successful, too in demand, and too in need of freedom and space to work their magic on industrial design items. The Mirra 2 Chair, while one of their finest pieces of work, is far from their only work. They have a long track record of success in creating beautiful, useful, innovative products for an international market. They are a company to be trusted when it comes to utility, aesthetic quality, and innovation. The Mirra 2 Chair and Studio 7.5 are ideas both Herman Miller and Smart Furniture can stand behind with pride and complete trust.

So who is Studio 7.5? If there are no bosses and no owners, who makes the products? Who designs them and runs the business?

Burkhard Schmitz, Claudia Plikat, and Carola Zwick were the original members of the team, later joined by Roland Zwick. All of them had backgrounds in industrial design, and long resumes full of success, beauty, and excellent functionality. When asked about the Mirra Chair, one of their latest and greatest productions, they brighten, and can speak in depth and with intense detail about the chair. About the Mirra chair: "We define not only how the chair looks but how it performs," says Carola. "We're very involved with its physical behavior, because beauty is not only what you see, it's also what you feel." This is the philosophy that led to the paradoxical pursuits of less material and more support, fewer adjustments and a better fit, and high value at low cost. It also led to one of the most innovative chairs this decade, and in more ways than one. Studio 7.5 blended scientific research, ergonomic study and fashion-forward aesthetics to forge a signature chair: the Mirra 2.

Of course, when you're making a purchase on a new office chair, comfort, support, ergonomics, beauty and pedigree should be at the forefront of your mind. But don't forget to consider the actual makers of the product. The companies, sensibilities, and physical hands that built the chair. In the case of the Herman Miller Mirra 2 Chair, built by German Studio 7.5, thinking about the designers can only improve your opinion of the chair you're looking at. Because in their capable and creative hands, Herman Miller was able to produce yet another wondrous, innovative, and even revolutionary office chair for the day to day life of working folks. With Studio 7.5, you know what you're buying; quality, hard work, beauty, and plenty of good old fashioned comfort, support, and functionality.

Design Story

The slogan for the new Mirra 2 Chair is "Together in Motion." The tagline couldn't be more fitting, since the chair responds in a unified way to the movement of your body. The Mirra 2 Chair is designed to adapt to slight weight transfers and shifts in movement. After the success of the Mirra Chair, Studio 7.5 made the Mirra 2 Chair even leaner and lighter - advancing how you sit, how you work, and how you move.

Design

Improved Butterfly Backrest

This is an innovation designed to support the back in all the areas that matter; lumbar, lower spine, shoulders. These are all crucially important areas when it comes to long hours at a desk or computer. Without proper support for all of them, the quality of your seating experience goes down, which in turn affects your work, mood, and health. The integrated fabric/polymer construction of the Mirra 2 chair's back is designed to make sure that doesn't happen, and to make sure you can sustain the quality of your health and work experience for long periods of sitting. The Butterfly Back keeps you as comfortable - and your back and spine as healthy - as possible. And, true to form, all of this happens intuitively with the Mirra 2 chair - no adjustments necessary. The lack of reliance on personal adjustments (which can, of course, still be made) is something that really sets the Mirra 2 Chair apart; it allows for professional, medical, technical adjustment, rather than just personal.

Passive PostureFit

Herman Miller designed the PostureFit system for the Aeron chair, their breakthrough product in ergonomic design. But for the Mirra 2 chair they did Aeron one better, developing the Passive PostureFit. The new version is designed to support your lower spine, the part of your back below the belt, and to do it without forcing you into an uncomfortable or unsustainable position. Research has shown that most office workers sit forward in their seat when the work, slouching. Mirra 2's Passive PostureFit doesn't correct this posture as much as it makes it easy and healthy to maintain. Camber contour at the base of the back makes it comfortable and natural to assume your normal position at work, and at the same time relieves all the stress and unhealthy alignments and tensions from your back. So the Mirra 2 has accomplished the dream of every teenager; healthy, comfortable, posture-maintaining slouching. The engineering behind this design feature is deeply impressive, as well as truly creative; not to eliminate bad posture by making it uncomfortable and therefore untenable, as many office chairs do, but cradle and support bad posture (which, as research shows, is actually normal posture) and convert in into comfortable, non-damaging seating. Neat trick.

Improved Harmonic Tilt

Harmonic tilt uses advanced seat and spring technology to create the most comfortable and easy tilting and reclining possible. This is an under-researched and under-estimated aspect of office seating. Users of office chairs spend large portions of their time leaning, swiveling, and reclining, in several different positions and at many different stress levels. The ultimate office chair would address this little-discussed aspect of seating, and therefore improve vastly the enjoyment and comfort of the office chair. The designers and engineers behind the Mirra 2 chair resolved to do this, and they did it in an unconventional, innovative way (no surprises there). Mirra 2 is designed to provide the same tension and pull when it comes to leaning in the seat no matter what type or size of user is in the seat. The ensures that the user is always in complete control of the seat. In a word, it creates harmony between the user, their desire to recline or lean, and the chair. So, rather than attempt to make the chair super-fluid or have myriad adjustments to the recline function, Mirra 2 just made it simple, easy, and comfortable for everyone. Harmonic tilt is the unexpected answer to a little-asked question in the world of office chair design, and it improves the function and ergonomic rating of the Mirra 2 chair immeasurably.

More Efficient AirWeave Suspension

The seat on the Mirra 2 chair is designed with comfort, breathability and coolness in mind. AirWeave allows air to flow through the Mirra 2 chair's seat, reaching the user and keeping him or her cool, collected, and productive. The seat also has a fixed depth, at 17", which means there's never a gap between the seat and the back of the chair, keeping you comfortable and supported. The seat's front edge can be curved down to reduce its depth without actually moving the seat. It's ingenious. And it's natural, because it's yet another paradox, for the last major design feature of the Mirra 2 to somewhat contradict the high-tech, engineering-focused features that came before. One of the best innovations used in the chair is one of the simplest, and most obvious; just make the seat breathable! Mirra 2 is an elegant chair with a lovely aesthetic that serves as packaging around a highly technical and complex series of engineering achievements.
